The Mixed Crips chat with Andy about her experience with hospital stays, health care workers, advocates, loved ones and all things in-between! This is a conversation that will shock you at points but it is open and has laughter in it as well.
Andrea (Andy) Junior is a 41-year-old (at the time of the recording, 42 at the time of release) quadriplegic who’s now been sitting longer than she ever stood, thanks to a car accident that rudely ended her vertical lifestyle at 15.
She mostly has her life together. By day, she’s a freelance graphic and web designer under Built With Sticks - a name inspired by the pencils strapped to her hands that help her type.
But when she’s not pushing pixels, she’s pushing her luck, burning through her nine lives and collecting all the firsthand experience needed to talk about the chaotic reality of having a spinal cord injury in the hospital.
Recorded April 8/25

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
